Knew it,it's without doubt the second best thing to do on a mk4,i can tell if a mk4 has one even as a passenger.How does it feel now you've had it a few days? Does the rear bite hard when cornering :wink:

Yeah it is a little steep,but i run a 26mm front arb so i need a big fecking chunky 28mm rear arb to reduce the understeer.My car corners flat(go-kart style),but it is also tail happy and WILL swing the back end out when pushed hard.My rear tyres have started to tear on the treads :grin: Don't let this put you off though,a smaller set up will be much easier to live with if you don't want to go sideways.
